Autonomous Vehicles? Maybe but there are other problems.
How many people expect autonomous vehicles to increase the collision rate compared to human-driven vehicles from the current 30,000 motor vehicle deaths per year in the US?

Because there are no cars there.
What would these graphs look like if there were no cars in any of the billion miles or kilometres measured?
